Community Participation
We run community participation events before, during and after our productions, building relationships between audiences and creatives to form a community around our work.
Online Dance Workshops
We are delighted to be working with Future Paisley to offer a series of recorded online Swing Dance sessions and live zoom workshops that build to form a short dance routine. So if you want to keep your energy and spirit going, learn new skills and perhaps have the opportunity to be part of the community cast of our new play “Other Side of the River” please get in touch.
How It Works
The sessions will be hosted by director and swing dance teacher of In Motion Theatre, Allie Butler, and will be short, fun and achievable! At the end of the sessions there will be an opportunity for you to share your routine on our social media platforms so we can see the faces behind those dance steps.
The workshops will run online with both recorded and live sessions once a week, starting on Tuesday 13th October until Tuesday 1st of December. The advantage of the recorded sessions is you can do these at your own pace over the week.
Reserve Your Place Now
If you would like to take part, or for more information, please email lisa@inmotiontc.co.uk by Wednesday 6th of October.
Online Song Writing Workshops
Once again working with Future Paisley, we are delighted to offer a series of short recorded online song writing sessions and live zoom workshops designed to help you create your own original songs.
Have you ever wanted to write a song but don’t know where to start? Join these sessions with Biff Smith of acclaimed band A New International to learn how it’s done. You don’t need an instrument just inspiration and the energy to give it a go!
Aims Of The Workshops
Through the sessions we can help to raise awareness and understanding of the creative process, where it may originate, and how it can be nurtured to an end point. We hope everyone takes away "something to carry with them", some new tools for building songs, some new colours to paint with, a new way of looking at the creative process which can also continue to be useful after the sessions are over.
So whether you have some experience, or are just beginning to explore your musical path, these workshops are for you. At the end of the sessions there will be an opportunity for you to share your song on our social media platforms if you want to.
We will be touring our new play “Other Side of the River” in 2021 and the hope is that some of the songs created in these sessions will be used as part of social events after each show.
How It Works
The workshops will consist of:
-
A live online group session.
-
Three initial short recorded practical writing sessions.
-
A live online group session with participants.
-
Three more short recorded practical writing sessions.
-
One to one sessions with participants.
-
A second set of one to one sessions with participants.
-
Opportunity to share what has been achieved online.
Sessions will start on Wednesday 7th of October and finish on 25th November, with places available for 10 people.

-
Facilitate song writing workshops with participants who've never played an instrument.
-
Run fun swing-dance classes in community spaces for people of all abilities aged 16+.
-
Hold podcasting sessions were even the most techno-phobic have an opportunity to participate.
-
Go into prison settings to deliver new writing and other creative workshops.
-
Host quiz nights, workshops, new author readings, previews and full productions, not only in traditional theatres, but also in non-traditional theatre spaces.
-
Host Friday Socials where communities can perform their talents along with our professional team.
